The debian-private mailing list leak, part 1. Volunteers have complained about Blackmail. Lynchings. Character assassination. Defamation. Cyberbullying. Volunteers who gave many years of their lives are picked out at random for cruel social experiments. The former DPL's girlfriend Molly de Blanc is given volunteers to experiment on for her crazy talks. These volunteers never consented to be used like lab rats. We don't either. debian-private can no longer be a safe space for the cabal. Let these monsters have nowhere to hide. Volunteers are not disposable. We stand with the victims.

No!

Somebody should be able to modify the source code, and retain copyright
on their changes.  

You should only deal with licensing - not copyrights.

For example, if the Free Software Foundation started to release all of
their new software with a new license that required the producers of
modifications to assign their copyrights to the FSF, I would no longer
consider the software free.

However, there's nothing wrong with them having a policy of "assigning
copyrights to the FSF" for adding patches back into what they distribute.  
But they shouldn't be in the business of controlling what they don't
distribute.

Please change this!

Cheers,
